It is human nature, and there is no way around that nature until we can find a way to scientifically restructure the human brain. What percentage of people do you think would still be going to work if they had enough money to not have to work any more? I bet it is less than 3%. Just about all of the people who would keep doing it are the crazed, money/power obsessed nut salads who are addicted to making more and more money and/or more and more power. They are crazy out of their minds, but they make the system happen. Everybody else presses the snooze button twenty times before getting out of bed and going to work and wishing it was Friday afternoon, looking at their watches all day while they long to get out of the office and drink martinis. Work is about making money and/or increasing power. Nothing else can drive it except petrifying fear of the government. That is why all of the communist governments had to scare the shit out of their people to make them work, and even that was extremely weak compared to the wonders of greed.
